Ingredients
Method
Marinate the Chicken
- In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with the teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or as short as 10 minutes if you're in a hurry.
Cook the Rice
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed.
- Once done, remove it from the heat, and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.
Season the Rice
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is done resting, fluff it with a fork and gently mix in the vinegar mixture.
Cook the Chicken
- While the rice is resting, grill or pan-cook your marinated chicken on medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Layer It Up
- Take a round mold or small bowl and begin layering. Start with a base of sushi rice, followed by sliced teriyaki chicken, then your avocado. Repeat this process until you reach the top, pressing gently so everything holds together.
Serve and Garnish
- Carefully remove the mold and transfer your stack onto a plate. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for that gourmet touch.
Notes
Don’t have a mold? No worries! Simply stack it up on a plate as best you can. It might not be Instagram-worthy, but it will taste just as incredible! If you want to add some additional crunch, consider adding thin slices of cucumber or carrots.
